    Saved passwords with Edge

    If I log in to a site using the saved password it cannot be read by someone else on a non-secure wifi network.

    Is that correct?

  4. Cannot Save WIFI Password

    Try forgetting the WiFi network, then reconnect and reenter the password to see if that helps. To forget the network, click on Start, select Settings, select Network & Internet, click on "Manage WiFi settings", scroll down to "Manage known networks", click on your wireless network and click " Forget".

    I tried that but it didn't work. I checked the setting for my wifi and the password is saved but it will NOT auto connect.

  6. What wireless security is your WiFi network set to? Wpa-psk (tkip)? Wpa2-psk (aes)?

    Reboot and reconnect with your wireless

    That took care of it. Now when I start up it connects immediately.

  12. It has not fixed my problem which is the same, though I did not un install it, I disabled it and then re-enabled it

    I have win 10 Home I guess, there is no check box, and if I uninstall it how do I then reinstall it as I do not have an installer of that adapter. Any help is most appreciated.

  14. when I get to the where it says(after right clicking it ) I see the uninstall aft that I have the option to uninstall or not if I do that I is know where where there is box to delete, bottom line this does not work (yet) for me.

    I have done this now twice I still have to manually input the password every time no matter what so far. See where I am confused is I never have the option to delete driver. The first time I did it
